out any appearance of force, and smiled at the prisoner. What is moist singular is, that his sweetheart and her fa mily were present, and took no notice of this conduct ; but this they explained by saying that the prisoner was quite drunk, rind had been drinking all the evening. The Judge asked Mr. Merewether whether he would send the case to the Jury; observing, that although the prisoner might be guilty, yet still as the girl had been con tradicted in some particulars, it might be too much to ask the Jury to depend upon her in the rest of the case, as to which she could not be contradicted. Mr. Merewether, however, declined giving up the pro seention. The Judge, in charging the Jury, expressed his disgust at the conduct of the prisoner but at the same time cap tioned them not to allow their prejudice in this respect to lead them to , rt verdict of guilty, unless they were quite satisfied that force was used. • - The Jury, after deliberating for a long time, said, that eleven of them agreed, but that the other would. not give in. Upon which one of them got up and said, he could not find in his Conscience to bring in any verdict but that of guilty,. He thought women ought to be protected. • The Judge said they must agree. • They were accordingly sent•to another room in charge of an officer;. and. in about an hour returned with a vet., diet of Guilty. Thomas Russell, jam.: Parry, James Lantarraft, John Robinson, and Wm. Winnam, were indicted for assaulting John Holditch, and passing Without paying the toll at Stonehouse-bridge, near Devonport. • John Holditch stated, that he was a toll-keeper, and had - the care of the .tall-gate at Stonehouse-bridge, near Devonport, and that about midnight, on the night of the' 13th of October, be observed a :number of persona corn ing towards the gate, and singing a chorus, to the words" We parrots live a jolly life." 'Russell was in his shirt, sleeves, and said, as he approached the gate, " Follow me, boys; I shall find a way for you." Witness observ ing some of the party passing the coach-gate, came from his office, and demanded,the ; upon which he was imme diately knocked down. Whilst witness was down, Rus sell said, "Serve him out, the imposing villain." CrAft then came up, and said, " Don't pay him ; they have no right here; they are no better than highway robbers, that rob the public to pay their mortgages." Cross-examined—Witness was found guilty of an assault upon Lamacraft and Parry, two of the present defendants, at the last Quarter Sessions. Larnaeraft did not strike witness until after witness said, " Go home, andpay what your father robbed from the poor." The present defend ants, Robinson and Russell, were witnesses at the Sessions against witness. Witness had a sword, but did not pro duce it until he bad been attacked. ----- Several other witnesses were called in support of the prosecution; amongst others, the prosecutor's sister, a young Lady, dressed in a very fashionable style, whose ;readiness and self-possession, excited considerable merri ment. She stated that she was at the toll-gate, when her brother was assaulted. The defendant's party wanted to paw without paying the toll. Her brother was knocked down' by them. • Cross-examined by Mr. Bir&--Miss Holditeh, did you see Mr. Tbomas Russell (the defendant) on that night ? Witness. Yes I did see Tom Russell.. Counsel--Well, let it be Toro, if 'you please. You know hint ? Witness (contemptuously)—Yes, Tom Russell is not a little knowtn Counsel—Why did you not Come up at the Sessions, when your brother was tried, Mies Holditeh ? Witness. Because I did not choose, Sir.—(Laughter). Counsel--Were you asked to come I Witness. I shan't answer• you, Sir. [The Court here interfered, and informed the witness. she Must answer the Counsel.] Counsel resumed his cioss-examinatien- , -There was a relation of ymit's there that night, Miss Holditrh ? Wit ness. There was, Sir. Counsel--What was his situation ? Witness (with t eat . dignity). The situation of a gentleman, tolie. sure, Counsel.--Was he drunk.? No, be was not drunk. -Ha - was in our house, and had only taken one glass of grog. Counsel... Now, 'Miss Holditch,:did not you say to a fe male friend, that the dock-yard men were poor; but that you wanted to set some money out of Lamacroft's pocket ? Witness (with a look expressive of the utmost dis dain) —Me want to get money out of Lainacmft (Laughter). Counsel--I ask you, did you say so ? No, Sir, I did not, that would be a little too good. .Coimsel---ligW, Miss Holditch, is it , usual for you to a ttend at the gate ?, Perhaps it is of a ball night, Sir. • rotinsel-;-Then, perhaps you were at the ball? No, Sir, was not. C on iißel--Do you often stay up so late as until two or three o'clock ?' I stay up when 1 please, and as long as I please ; and I can't see what difference that is to you, Sir. (Laughter, in which the Court anlt Counsel joined.) Several witnesses were called for the defendants, and contradicted the evidence for the prosecution in many im portant particulars. 'They stated that the prosecutor was exceedingly violent froM the time the party appeared at the toll-gate. Before he was assaulted, be called the de fendants robbers; and said they wanted to rob him of their toll, and that . he would not let one of them pass. It also appeared that the defendants were returning from a mu sical Society, called " The Harmonics," when the quarrel occurred, and that the prosecutor had previously quarrelled with many of them. After deliberating for a few minutes, the Jury acquitted all the defendants. MR. BEAUMONT AND EARL GRE Partvriing montes nuscetur ridiculus mos , . Th e mountains laboured, and out came a mouse. The famoti.4 c orrespondence is at length before the pub lic and,as might have been expected, there is but one' opi ! nion upon the subject, an opinion, whatever else ma be thonght, that Lord Grey (to whom the publication y of this correspondence must be attributed) has' given the most indisputable proof of the malignity of his feelings to wards Mr. Beautnont. t believe no man in the county but his Lordship would have been guilty of an act of such perfect desperation and folly ; it is known that the letters in question were transmitted to the chronicle not only without the consent of Sir Johtt Swinburne, but decidedly:_against his 7,siles ; it is kno.o,n, tuo, that the principal Whig gentry of the comity disapprove equally with Sir John of g this most uncalled for, midmost tir Stli bl . exposure of pri vate Oak's.

The attempted proof of the exi stence of " mental derangement" is so closely interwoven wit h the private affairs of the family at Capheaton, that to shew the fallacy of that proof would almost be tantamount to the establishing of what Mr. Beaumont has debarred himself from approaching. Involved as at present the whole transac tion it in mystery t regard for the opinions of Mr. Beaumont, and delicacy towards the feelings of a family which Lord Grey has 'treated with such unprecedented cruelty, consfi tutein any mind sufficient reasons for our refraining from of fering any further observations on this branch of the sub ject. I shall, therefore, turn to the charge of Mr. Beau mont's having in an advertisement, published on his return from the Continent, declared his own unfitness for acting as a teprsentative in Parliament until he had repelled the infamous - allegations which had been urged against him. These allegations are shortly afterwards stated by himself to relate to an assertion, Ist, of his having been within a 1 late period " under a mental delusion ;" 2dly, of his in tended marriage with the daughter of Sir J. S. having been broken off from a discovery of his having already married a foreign lady. A third point, to which the asser tion extends, can be deemed of no consequence whatever. As to the report mentioned under the second head of these allegations, it can only be necessary to say that it was entirely without foundation. But with respect to the first and, principal ground of disqualification alleged against him, what was Mr. Beaumont's conduct ? After some pre liminary correspondence with Lord Grey, he instructs his solicitor in London, C. C. Wilson, Eq. to bring an action against his Lordship, for having " used and published cer tain libellous and malicious expressions to the, injury of his character, and which he believed his Lordship to have been aware were contrary to the fact." Proceedings, it is true, 'were not instituted against his Lordship; but the intention was not abandoned because his Lord ship was prepared " to justify"—it was abandoned, as his Lordship must well know, upon considerations widely different. The motives which really operated with Mr. . . Beaumont to induce him to relinquislithC idea of prosecut ing his Lordship, I may take an early opportunity of stat ing to the public; at present, I am not at liberty to ex plain them. I may, remark, however, that if the determi nation of Lord Grey " not to retract an iota of the opi nion he had expressed with regard to Mr. Beaumont's con duct," had really been the reason of Mr. Beaumont's not persevering in his threatened action, the measure would have been abandoned on the receipt of his Lordship's let ter to Mr. Wilson, in which his Lordship distinctly de clares his intention "not to offer any explanation by which proceedings may be rendered unnecessary." It is super tluous, however, to enlarge upon this point, as there are circumstances not yet brought forward, from which the fact must be readily obtained. Mr. Beaumont having now been dissuaded from the idea of a prosecution, he adopts the next best means in his power of contradicting, the reports to the prejudice of his character; he meets the officers of his regiMent at a fare well dinner at.Hexham, and on that occasion (I quote from the newspapers of the day) addresses them asfollows: " My presence among you this day has, I hope, done much to dispel such an idea (an idea of mental delusion) from your minds : but should any particle of suspicion still remain in any one, I think I can remove it by observing that those who have been most industrious in giving cur rency to this report never surmised for an instant the bare possibility of such a thing until I had left, their house: I had been in daily intercourse with them for some time without the least hint havi Rig been given of it to anyone! If this is not sufficient,there is a fact . which must carry conviction to every one how entirely false, and without the shadow even of a foundation, such a report has always been. It is this— that up to ten days after my departure from a house which I shall not name, I know, from a letter. received by. one of my own family, that it was the wish of those. persons that matters should be amicably arranged. And, in point of fact, an overture was made to me shortly after my depar ture from that house, through a person (who, if required, will not hesitate to come forward and sty so), for that purpose." The facts above-mentioned, which have never been re futed, afford, I think, a most conclusive answer to the te nons which have been circulated ageinat ist it tify hie imbertioll Ll.ll humming*, that " the falsehood (g the charges brought against hint had been discovered." Here I should have concluded, but having heard it ask ed, why Mr. Beaumont took no notice of the letter frOin Lord Grey, dated Tunbridge Wells, Aug. 31, I think it proper to say what is known to - many--that immediately on the receipt f that letter 11 1 6. Beaumont determined to proceed to London and had actually proceeded as far as Ferrybridge, when he was met by a friend who stopped his progresS, and who has declared himself to be solely re sponsible for the abandonment of his purpose. A LOOKER-ON, NYWCASTII6.UTC.I4. Trig, Jinx 526. (From the Tyne Mercury of Tuesday the 21ith inst.) We suspend the course of our political dissertations in order to give our first attention t.o a circumstance of as great local interest as any that has occurred in this neigh bourhood, during the whole course, of our editbrial expe rience—we allude to the correspondence of 11!Ir. Beaumont with the Earl Grey, recently published in a contemporary journal. The tenour of the correspondence itself is of a very "extraordinary kind. But the' most extraordinary cir cumstance attending it, is , that its tenor being such, Lord Grey should be: induced by any motives of hiis own, or any solicitations of others, to give it publicity. The pre text assigned for its appearance is, to show that Mr. Bean- mont's calumniators liave committed against him no other fault, except that of a "too long continued forbearance." This fault, " leaning to virtue's side," they undertake to prove against themselves, by means of a private corres pondence, from which an inference is to be drawn, that two year ago Mr'. Beaumont laboured under "a mental delu sion."—Let us suppose, for the sake of argument; that their inference is fairly deduced, and that Mr. B. was for a moment visited with such a malady; we are still at a loss to discover in that circumstance any proof of a " forbear ance too long continued." Indeed we are at a loss to con ceive under such circumstances how any forbearance, less than complete and perpetual, could be sufficient. If the inference they would have us draw be correct, Mr. B. as regards this affair, was an 'object of compassion and not of persecution. So far, therefore, from this imputation forming any excuse for the unwearied malignity, with which they have pursued him, it does but exhibit their conduct tt more hateful and unpardonable light. It now appears, by their own showing, that it is.not a crime with which they have been charging him, but'a calamity with which they Anse to taunt him! , rood God! can Lord Grey be so lost to all human feeling, to all, sym pathy with the infirmities of our nature, .and, so forgetful of his own honour and character,. as to publish a private correspondence for the purpose of showing that he is jus tified in pursuing a man with the most relentless hatred, because he has of him an insult under the influence of mental delusion ? Does it argue, we Would ask, more mental delusion, or more dereliction of tot al principle to *rite, than. to' print such a correspondence? The offence of publication exceeds in magnitude that of writing, as much as a whole community ex.. ceeds in number an individual. If we do not consider it as an act of insanity, we are obliged to consider it as an act of despere tion-the last expiring effort of impotent and defeated malice. Having failed in their attempt to heat Mr: "Beaumont down by disturteAl and exaggerated representations of circumstances hitherto concealed, 8.1, enem i es . as a list , resource, try the effect of publication, for which no person ought to be so mach obliged as the pavan whom they designed to injure. They have thus ex pended all their ammunition at one discharge. They have ap plied the match to their own magazine of defamation, and blovn their own characters into the ail'. They may, - indeed, hive re vived painful impressions, anti harrowed up the feelings 0 their advereary,lon they have left his honour untotiche&—not tarnished even by the very smoke of that infernal machine which was to an• nihilate hint. But if Lis.: 6. had nu sympathy for Mr. B. certainly he ougut to hsep ti his C.

Bow eaucis L(08,4- as, charge upon t h a t gmtiemo insanity for writing, what he lame& has the greater Insanity to circulate in print? Mr. Beatimont wr ot e the letter' coutiththl the charges, r a co , moreover,uvict. uni (however &halve) of their truth. Can his Lordship :allege such an excuse ? We cannot think it possible, that Sir John Swinhurne gave his con sent to the publication in question; and if it was made without it, we will not trust ourselves with characterising such a proceed ing ; let every honourable man consult his own heart, for terms in which to execrate it. We have so far argued the case as if the publishers had made good their position, that Mr. Beaumont laboured under temporary aberration of mind, which, however, we do not admit, ,and are prepared to refute, as far as any arguments can be grounded on the documents now before us. It is true that there is a passage in one of the letters distinguished by au Italic type, in which Mi. Beaumont speaks' of circumstances of an extraordinary character, out of the usual, course of events." But if every, one that believes in any extraordinary interpositions of Providence, or any occasional 'deviations from the established' and known course:of nature s - is to he considered as labouring under mental delusion, the world may be said to be peopled with mental dtiusioni#B. But Lord Grey, forsooth, can imagine no other excuse for Mr. Beaumont. Now here we differ froni his Lordship. And we' can not only imagine, but see an excuse for Mr. Beaumont, if he was in fact surrounded with any thing like the characters and circumstances which he describes to Lord Grey. We do'not affirm that he was. Indeed, we affirm nothing ; but only argue froth such premises as the corre spondence affords. But assuming the "facts as there stated, we can easily imagine that a young man of high spirit and warns affec tions, anticipating the early consummation of his wishes, and the completion of his happiness; in his union with the object of his fondest love, should be so harrassed, tortured, and distracted by obstacles raised from such sources, as to write a letter as indis creet and extraordinary as that to Lord Grey, and yet not be en tirely without any excuse besides mental delusion. We are not at all surprised that the enemies of Mr. Beaumont should endeavour to snake out Such a case against him, it being the only frail thread left on which their reputation hangs. But we confess we do not may effect that purpose, so desirable, so necessary to their safety. see the means and proofs by which they Our limits will merely allow us briefly to ask, why this eel-res pondence, involving the character anticomfort of so many indi viduals, should be published in the anonymous, unautbenticated, and irresponsible form of an advertisement? ; h it that no indi vidual may have the shame of presenting it in a garbled and muti lated shape, as it evidently is as to one letter, and probably is as to others? Or is it that this attack upon Mr, Beaumont shall, like all others from the same quarter, be cow a rdly, insidious, and disowned? Froin first to last lie has been the mark at which arrows have been shot by an unseen hand, 'guided by a malicious heart, itself trembling at its own act, and ashamed of its own motive. Against such foes, even while secure in their own hiding places, and trinmphing in the success of their own artifices; Mr. Beaumont has stood with the firm front of conscious integrity.— But it will not be long before a discriminating public, being now put in possessinn of the facts by the indiscretion of his enemies, will find Mr. Beaumont infinitely "more sinned against than sinning," and assign bins that high place in their estimation of which it has been the unceasing effort of a powerful conspiracy :o deprive him.

This unfortunate vessel, which has so long and so highly excited public attention and sympathy, was finally and completely hauled upon the beach on Sunday evening. The work of the contractor and the superintendence of the Sheriff were both finished at that period. In addition to the details contained in the following letter from a gentleman in Gourock, who had the best information, we have, only to add, that two trunks were got out on Sunday evening, but as they had not been opened at the date of our accounts yes.. terday, it is uncertain what they contain. A fowling-piece and a military cap, belonging, it is supposed, to Captain Sutherland, have also been found. The following is a correct account of the money which has been recovered : In Mr. Rollo'g bag Piper's chest about Captain's money And small sums £6.92 13 0 75 0 0 15 0 0 8 0 0 • .£lBO 18 0 • • The notes are wet, but not materially damaged. Several law pa.' pens (leases, &c.) belonging to Mr. Rollo were found in a good state of preservation ; and the crockery-ware in the steward's ca bin was in general found uninjured. The vessel is a most cora- plete wreck, but it is quite Certain that nothing belonging to any of the ill-fated passengers can remain on board, so closely has the wreck been searched,—Sunday being a beautiful day the wreck was visited by a great number of people from Greenock and the neighbourhood.

" Gonroek, Saturday Biening, 22d July. " Mr. Brown has fixed bill chains down to-night for the lot time, as he expects to have the Cornet dry at low water to-morrow morning'a tide. As yet there has been no iteCkSS to the principal cabin. All that has been found therefore has either been on deck, or hi the steerage. This morning the body of a. female was found ori.the quarter deck in a state of very great • decay, so much so that the remains of the dress alone indicated that it was probably the corpse of Miss 1114Intosh.- It was carefully put into a coffin zinki interred immediately. " To-day a considerable quantity of bones were found in the steerage, but there was in that place such a mass of rubbish and mud that it is impossible to say how many bodies there might be. The jacket of a very young boy was picked up, enclosing the ribs only, and no other part was visible. "6i regard to private property not much has yet been re covered. The Piper's chest was found yesterday, and bank notes to the amount of about "751. enclosed ; none of which were in the least injured, though completely saturated with water. A pocket book lay on deck, containing 6/, in small notes, all entire ; some silver and copper also were picked up on deck. A number of bottles, supposed to have originally contained whisky, were found full, but the spirit was invariably changed for a liquid of a bitter taste. g , The vessel herself is so complete a wreck that she must be broken up ; she can never again float. It reflects great credit on the ingenuity of Mr. Brown that he succeeded in bringing her ashore. Both stem and stern are quite smashed, and the deck planks torn up. This must have been dons chiefly by the chains last winter, in the first attempt to raise her. " The copper boilers have collapsed in a surprising manner ; and, as boilers, are useksts. The sudden condensation of the steam must have produced a vacuum, and the pressure of the surround ing water on the outside caused this effect. Engineers have al ready se to work to take the machinery to pieces, under the three tion of some of the proprietors. " It is a remarkable circumstance that the body of the female found floating from the wreck on Tuesday, and supposed to be that of Mr. WDonald of Borrodale's cook-maid, was in a better state of preservation than any other yet found; and it"has been freely assorted that she was in a state of intoxication at the time the accident happened. " The Sheriff, Mr. Marshall, has been indefatigable labia atten tions to the preservation of property. It was found necessary to prevent so many people from coming on board, as presented them selves for admission, and orders accordingly were issued to a boat's crew, from one of the revenue cutters on this station, under the command of an officer, to admit none on board. Still curiosity prompted many' respectable gentlemen, and even ladies, to ap peal personally to the Sheriff, who was thus placed in the dis agreeable predicament of being obliged to make special refusals ; fur bad all been admitted who applied, there would not have been standing room for them, and none at all to work.

His Excellency Count LIEVEN, Ambassador to this Court from his Majesty the Emperor of RUSSIA, arrived yesterday at Dover, from St. Petersburgh, having embarked at Calais in the Post-office steam packet Furl. His Excellency landed under a salute from the batteries on the Heights, and shortly after wards proceeded to London. We received last night the several Paris Papers of the 24th, and the Etoile dated the 25th inst., from which we make the following extracts relative to the state of affairs in Greece : CORFU, JUNE 27.--qhe Seraskier has quitted the en virons of Lepanto, and has fixed his head-quarters six leagues off, between Salome and Lidoriski. The Greek troops had made some entrenchments, with the intention of fixing their head-quarters there, but they have since abandoned that position. The Seraskier has had some engagements in the environs of Lidoriski, in which he has lost a great many men. They expect at Ptevesa a Russian Consul to reside there. The Government has received orders from the Seraskier, to assign the best house in the town, which is composed of mere barracks, to the expected Consul for his residence. The inhabitants of Spezzia, to be-better • able to defend: themselves, have joined those of:Hydra.* We learnfrom Napoli di Romania, that a corps of 4 or 5,000 Arabs had advanced towards the Province of Maine, call ing on the inhabitants to submit; that the latter, being able to defend themselves, desired to communicate with Ibrahim in person, which not having taken place, they opposed the entrance of the Arabs, and, after an obstinate engagement, defeated them with the loss of 2,000 men. It is added, that two transports laden with provisions of all kinds, belonging to Lord Cochrane's division, have ar- Travellers coming from Prevesa affirm that the garrison of Missoloughi, when it evacuated that place, carried away the remains of Marus Bolzaris, which they happily con veyed to their countrymen as a new Palladium. 'The Emile is principally filled with the Introduc. tion of a Pamphlet, which Marshal VICTOR, Duke de BELLUNO, has published, respecting the commis sariat contracts with OUVRARD, in answer to a publi cation by that person. The conduct of M. OUVRARD in his late capacity of Contractor General of the French Army has been so long and so frequently be fore the public, and the subject, originally of but little interest in this country, is so threadbare, that we think we shall please our readers best by omitting this new discussion of the relative purity of the Duke's Ad. ministration, and OUVIIARD's execution of his con tracts. The Etoile also publishes a Decree of the'King o) the NETHERLANDS, dated the 20th inst., permitting, under certain limitations; the erection of private chapels and oratories, notwithstanding the regulations pre viously in force.

Some of our contemporaries have sneered at, and attempted to turn into ridicule, the Constitution which DON PEDRO has given to Portugal; but in doing so they have, in our view of the subject, shown their want of judgment as well as their ignorance. The leading features of this ne w C onst i tut i on so ne a r l y resemble those our own, which h as b een f oun d n o t less ad mirable in practice than in principle, and suited' alike for the happiness and security of society, that we are at a loss to conceive why it should be supposed that the establishment of a Constitution framed on such a model should not be advantageous to the country in which it is to be introduced, in lien of a system which affords neither protection to:property nor secu rity to person. The inhabitants of Portugal in com mon with those of most other countries in which arbi trary Governments exist, have long desired to partake of the benefits which result from free and liberal insti tutions, and it would have beeir an idle attempt in that country, as it will prove ultimately to be in all others, to resist this universal' and powerful desire.
